Default Slight sputtering with new baffles.

I have an 07 Ultra w/ an SEAC and Rinehart TD's. Am running a PCIII. I recently installed the quiet baffles. I now notice a slight sputtering sound around 2k-2500 RPM, while cruising. It does not happen while accelerating or with a load on it, such as climbing a hill or grade etc. I tried adding 5% fuel in this area of the map in the 2 to 10 percent TP. I also took the same amount away. It didn't really help, just moved the point where I hear the sound a few hundred RPM. Anyone have any ideas?

Default Baffles

I noticed this also after installing the quiet baffles..I have the Mastertune software and re-tuned the bike to eliminate...
I just installed the Smartpartz Baffles in my quiet baffles to try and tone it down a little more and noticed it came back...I haven't had time to get it retune yet but I should be able to get rid of it as before.
